I've updated the Enigma application for Android. There are now more than 400 puzzles with more on the way.

While testing this, I noticed that after spending a lot of time solving a puzzle, the application simply told you "Congratulations, you win", in a little pop-up window. To me this didn't seem like much of a pay-off for your brilliant reasoning and code-breaking skills. As a result, I decided to add a small animation to better acknowledge your efforts. It may not win any awards, but it should be a little more satisfying.

Also, based on a suggestion from someone interested in looking at Enigma before purchasing it, I have added a trial edition. This trial is fully functional and does not expire. It is limited to only 10 puzzles, however. It will be interesting to see how well the trial is received and whether or not it drives people to purchase the full version.

In addition to making more puzzles available, I am thinking of making a change to Enigma to improve its playability. I'm looking at one of the following two choices:

1. Skip to the next open letter when you enter something.

   Pro's

   • Immediately ready to enter next letter.

   Con's

   • If you mis-type, (small keyboard, big fingers) it is nice that the current cell is still selected so you can make a change.
   • The next letter might not be the one you want to enter.
2. Perhaps designate a key (TAB) that will select the next open letter.

   Pro's

   • Easy to get to the next letter, even if it isn't visible.

   Con's

   • Due to different potential device characteristics, the designated key might not be available on all keyboards.

Or perhaps none of the above. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please feel free to drop me a line.

For those of you that are playing this game, please grab the update and enjoy the new puzzles.
